i'm not defending that motherfucker by the way. i'm just putting things into perspective. it's all mega-bullshit.

seriously, quit sharing your opinion on this without knowing who rajneesh is. his violence was not based on his teachings but on wanting to elect local government who would let him do whatever he wants(sex and money, not god). the motivation for the attacks is
capitalism not hinduism. the guy wasn't even religious, just a brilliant businessman. none of the points you're making have anything to do with the guy being discussed, which is only natural because it's quite difficult to have a relevant opinion on a guy you haven't heard of
also it's easy to blame religious wars on religion while ignoring the fact that winning such a war makes your country larger,wealthier and more powerful, but it's also absurd
